Gary from Locksmith Doctor communicated quickly to my service request and arrived on time the next morning in the San Gabriel area. He took the time to make sure everything worked well and even upgraded my lock for free when things were not perfect with the existing model. Highly recommended. read more

Gary is fast at responding my request and got everything done in less than 30 minutes! 10/10 would recommend!

Called this company and they came right out which was great. Drilled a hole in my mailbox and said he had to go buy a replacement. Left to get a replacement lock and came back with the wrong one. Left again and came back and said they didn't have it, he will be back tomorrow. I told him I wouldn't be home in the morning and to just leave the key under the mat. He came at noon and said you aren't here. I said yes, I'm at work can you just leave the keys under the mat. He said he didn't feel safe doing so but would come back when I was home. I got home and texted him. He came back and told me to install the lock myself and handed it to me. Strangest transaction and person ever. I'm not sure why this person keeps saying I screamed at him. I didn't even say anything to him other than I don't have a husband but I'll figure it out. After I felt like I was taking advantage of and asked my ex husband to call you. Like I said, very peculiar man. read more

Was in need of help during the night. Tom was not helpful i asked for quote he first did not want provide. Denied service because he did not like how i presumed cost. Cant trust anyone that not willing to be transparent. read more

We contacted this business for support with our mailbox that had been vandalized. The response time is very quick when I reached out via Yelp. They offered appointment times and provided the cost prior to my accepting their bid for the job. Communication the day of was very good and Gary was able to fix the problem with our mailbox within minutes. He charged us $80 for the repair. He accepts cash and Virtual Wallet payments. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 has to do with punctuality. We set an appointment for 11a. Unfortunately, Gary was caught in traffic that caused significant delay. He arrived around 1p. I am sympathetic to the California traffic. It still was a disruption to wait around. I would recommend his services. read more

I called Gary after locking myself out of my house Friday evening. I needed a locksmith ASAP and was nervous i wouldn't be able to find anyone since it was 6:30pm on a Friday night. Gary was available and showed up in 20 minutes to save the day. If i ever have any issues and need a locksmith I will definitely call Gary. Thanks again. read more

Responded quickly to a locksmith request on yelp and had all the tools with him to complete my screw up! Thank you Gary!

As I said. Horrible experience. Door can't even shut off after he changed the lock. Refused to come back and refused to refund read more

I decided to change my review because in retrospect, Gary did try to help us as much as he could and he knew how to work with our very old Baldwin lock. On day 1, he really tried to repair the old lock but ended up having to replace it with new parts. We paid $650 for parts and $200 for labor. We were already way over budget at that point. On day 2, he brought the faceplate and saw our shock when he told us the price. He decided to charge the faceplate at cost ($400) and no labor fee for which we are thankful. It took us a while to decide what to do because we had to understand what our options were at that point and how to pay for it with our limited resources. We now have a shiny new lock with missing screws and no warranty. In my opinion, there could have been better communication both ways from the onset and all the way through- what could be done, how much everything was going to cost and what we expected to spend. We would been happier having the lock replaced with a cheaper one or defer the work until we have more funds but I didn't know how much everything will cost and I didn't tell Gary our budget either. Lessons learned: Always have options and costs clearly explained at the onset, give your budget, and buy the parts yourself for returns and warranties. . read more

Gary came out and saved us! We were locked out in the middle of the night. Gary was able to come out swiftly, and worked his magic with a tricky lock. Highly recommend him! read more

Went out of his way to make sure all the hardware matched and rekeyed it so one key was needed for the whole house - 3 doors, 6 locks. Was willing to come back and finish/correct any concerns or issues. Appreciated Gary's assistance. read more

I am a Realtor in the San Gabriel Valley and I must give Gary five stars for helping me out. Had an issue with a lockout to keep it short squatters, broke into a home of mine, and change the locks locking me out of my very own property I was hired to sell. Anyways gave Gary a message through Yelp and he responded even though it was pretty late at night. Not to mention he came out on Mother's Day to help spend a few hours to change all the locks in the home. I am very happy with his services and his response time he showed up early and got to work. Five stars and I would highly recommend in the future to all my clients. Thanks Gary! read more

I called two other locksmiths before calling Locksmith Doctor. One wouldn't give me an estimate over the phone, insisted he had to come out and look at it first. The other sounded expensive, so I went on Yelp and noticed Locksmith Doctor was rated No. 1 for my area. I answered a few questions on line and got an immediate quote which was more reasonable. My technician Gary then came on a chat to answer questions. I made an appointment for that very evening, and Gary arrived 20 minutes early. He did a splendid job rekeying 4 locks and was very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend this professional service. read more

Super honest guy! Gary was more concerned with helping me resolve my lockout situation than making a buck off me. He said to try using WD-40 to loosen the key that was not opening the garage door lock. And it worked! And by the way and more importantly, his initial quote to reset my key after opening the stuck lock was practically half of what the others on yelp were asking. He will have my business when I have key issues in the future. I rarely post a yelp review, let alone a glowing one, but I make this exception to let everyone know of Gary's integrity as a locksmith. read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE. got here in less than 30mins for a screen door lockout. and opened my door in less than 30 seconds! the man was friendly and I will come back again if needed. the charge was $185 which is extremely fair. read more

I recommend Gary 100% for locksmith services. My mom had an emergency on a Sunday night for a lockout. I called several 24 hr locksmiths and they all told me that they couldn't quote me over the phone...that they'd have to see what they're dealing with and they'd quote me in person. How convenient. Clearly, I wasn't ok with this so I kept calling others. I came upon Gary and he gave me a no-frills quote over the phone. He came over and got the job done as expected. Great guy. Hopefully, there will be no more lockouts, but in case there's some in the future, I'll definetly call Gary. read more

Gary was the only one that answered our call and showed a sense of urgency as needed. Great as responding back and was able to arrive in 20 mins as quoted. Super friendly and has great manners. We need more quality services like this. He was able to open the lock very quickly and knew exactly what he was doing. Thank you for your time and helping us out when everyone else was not responding. read more

Gary promptly responded to my service request. He got here quickly and got to work immediately. He was great and solved our issue. Highly recommends read more

Gary was great and reliable, he came on time to replace my lock just as I needed. Highly recommended!

The fee that I was quoted was $130 (locked out of the house). Unfortunately other places charged $80-95 but were not available, so I went with LD. I received a call from Gary asking me to open the gate (condo complex) but the opener was locked in the house. He immediately gave me an attitude about having to park on the street and that it hassled him to bring ALL his equipment (a small pouch and drill). As he worked, his demeanor changed. After the work was done (drilled out the keyhole), he said he was going to charge me $150, $20 extra for a "service fee" since he had to drive far (30 min) and his trouble for parking across the street, to bring his equipment. I stated that the amount was $130 as he mentioned. He said "fine, just pay me $130 and I'll leave". He only takes cash/check. read more

Massive attitude problem. He waves me around with his fingers. I give him more work and he still wants to charge more. Ridiculous. If I had to guess based on the way he treated me, he is probably racist. read more

Thank you so much Gary! You saved the day.... You were so prompt, professional, and got the job done in no time. If anyone needs a locksmith I highly recommend Gary (Locksmith Doctor) for your needs. You will not be disappointed. read more

Gary was great! Was super flexible with our moving schedule and my dog loved him (always a plus) he was thorough and spent the time it took to make sure all the locks functioned properly on our old home! He also suggested we re-key instead of replacing the locks to save us money and I didn't know better before hand. So I very much appreciated him not taking advantage of that! read more

I was looking for a locksmith last week and called several phones numbers on Yelp . The locksmith Doctor was the only one that answered his phone . Everyone else I called, you had to leave a message or send them a text . This was the best service I have ever received from a vendor on Yelp . Not only did he answer my call, but he was able to come out within 30 minutes . Changed two locks and was in and out in less than 15 minutes and that included me talking to him while he worked . I was very impressed and his prices were very reasonable . I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again ! read more

They were very responsive and prompt and fairly priced. Would use again, thank you Gary!
